Data Acquisition Interface/Power Supply

Description

The Data Acquisition Interface links the Antenna Positioner with the personal computer that runs the LVDAM-ANT software. The link to the computer is achieved through a USB port connector mounted on the rear panel of the module. The Data Acquisition Interface converts the received signal coming from the Antenna Positioner into a digital signal which can be used by the computer. It also routes the shaft encoder signals coming from the Antenna Positioner to the computer and provides the signals required to control the drive motor and the variable attenuator in the Antenna Positioner. A BNC connector and a multi-pin connector allow connection of the Data Acquisition Interface to the Antenna Positioner.
